Looks like a 1955-59 S1 Continental... |

Ok pour un Coupé Type R |

It's a "R-type Continental" what can be seen from the seats and the general line (which is different to those of the S1 Continental Fastback) |

One of the finest cars ever made. |

In the film Sellers is playing with his son (filming him with his camcorder and pretending he is a racing driver) when he discovers a scratch in the paintwork. He storms off to phone the dealer, so his son tries to fix it by painting a white stripe over it ("It looks just like a racing car now!"). In response Sellers furiously stomps all over his toys ("See Michael, I've fixed all your toys for you!"). Given that this was the world's most expensive production car at the time and only 200 were made, Sellers' extreme reaction is almost understandable! Although I saw a documentary where the son says that in real life he whipped him with his belt (not sure if it was exactly the same model of car though). -- Last edit: 2009-02-27 01:21:19 |

Sellers never owned a R-type Continental from new, nor do I know of any R-type Continental he owned as a used car. |

the car in question is this one Bentley S1 Continental Sports Saloon with special coachwork by HJ Mulliner. The car retained influences of the original fastback, but reflected the fashion of the time for tailfins. It is one of just two Bentley Continentals built to that style in 1959. reg: 684 GYH. IN RED .. Peter also owned bentley continetal r type , was driven to rome with britt after their wedding .im just trying to find it ... -- Last edit: 2024-10-06 17:51:22 |

Sellers' S1 Continental 684 GYH (as ^) wasn't a pretty sight![[Image: 243040344_1214075235759092_4509468437134797479_njpg_nc_cat107ccb1-7_nc_sid833d8c_nc_ohclcorauht5xeq7.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/24/243040344_1214075235759092_4509468437134797479_njpg_nc_cat107ccb1-7_nc_sid833d8c_nc_ohclcorauht5xeq7.jpg) ![[Image: motoring-graphics-2_819001a.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/24/motoring-graphics-2_819001a.jpg) |

Whatever the film car is, it's not OLT 986![[Image: bentleyolt9861954.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/24/bentleyolt9861954.jpg) ![[Image: bentleyolt9861954b.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/24/bentleyolt9861954b.jpg) according to this 2002 ad. "1954 Bentley R-Type Convertible Park Ward Registration No. Formerly UK Registered OLT 986 Chassis No. B59UL Engine No. B29U Ice Blue with a blue leather interior" No mention of Sellers in the blurb. Plate info has fossilised with the 2004 info above, but can add 1979-12-14 Colour change From: BLACK To: SILVER So why OLT 986 used on the film car is complete mystery, and I guess we need to start the ID process from scratch. I'll kick it off by suggesting Bentley .... |

B59UL, or OLT986 is a March 1954 Bentley R-type Drophead Coupé by Park Ward. Please note that it is NOT a Continental. It has automatic transmission, the body is to Park Ward design #552 of which just 9 were built and the first owner was Associated Weavers Ltd. Amongst the many people who worked on the production, is a name which could indicate that this car’s owner at the time was one of them, which might explain why the plate migrated to the subject vehicle. Or it could just be coincidence. In order to prevent my being sued, I am not saying any more. Its owners do not appear to have joined the Bentley Drivers Club. -- Last edit: 2024-10-07 09:48:14 |
